In a medium skillet or wok, heat 1 cup oil. Fry chicken briefly or until loses its pink color and they turn white. Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels.

3.Clean out the skillet or wok and add 1 tablespoon oil. Wait until oil is hot then add the carrots. Sauté for half minute and add the peppers, continue stir-frying until it reaches a minute. Add the sauce previously made in the middle of the skillet or wok. Allow sauce to be heated before mixing the sauce with the vegetables.

4.Return the chicken to the skillet or wok. Stir-fry 1 to 2 more minutes. Stir in the green onions.

Serve with steaming fry rice or white rice.

Enjoy!
